A CU professor got a grant to teach kids about artificial intelligence. Then the National Science Foundation abruptly killed it

The National Science Foundation, which is managed by the federal government, recently canceled funding for hundreds of research projects. One of those programs, designed by a professor at CU, would have used social media to teach young people about how artificial intelligence works. But the grant proposal contained the word “misinformation” — and the professor thinks that’s why the project was killed.
